Ok, So not based in Chicago...but a COOL NEW CONCEPT!!!!

This new modeling agency is based in LA, but the new concept behind it is so COOL that I wanted to write about it. Former plus-size model Katie Halchishick, having once worked for big time agencies such as Ford Models, opened up her own modeling agency. The agency is called Natural Model Management and they showcase models who range in sizes such as 4-10 (yes I cannot believe that 10 is considered Plus size, really???).

This agency has started a new campaign called, "Healthy is the New Skinny," which hosts a bunch of messages, posts and videos trying to encourage a more natural look into the fashion industry. Make sure to visit the website at http://www.healthyisthenewskinny.com/

With a large chunk of our population considered overweight, it only makes sense that consumers will want to start seeing more natural looking models that they can relate to. Therefore, Natural Model Management is ahead of it's time!! Great job Katie, so when you coming to Chicago?
